Polish Politician Attacks Gay Elephant

Here's your quote of the day, unlikely to be surpassed: “"We didn't pay 37 million zlotys for the largest elephant house in Europe to have a gay elephant live there.” So fumed Polish politician Michal Grzes, a conservative councillor in the city of Ponzan. The elephant in question, Ninio, “prefers male companions and will probably not procreate,” according to Reuters. But instead of being gay, Ninio might just be young and confused: “The head of the Ponzan zoo said 10-year-old Ninio may be too young to decide whether he prefers males or females as elephants only reach sexual maturity at 14.”
